You can use this patch (not available in Preware because requires user modification before installation) to change the carrier string as well as the font colors of the carrier string and date/time string. Follow the instructions on the thread there. It does exactly what you are asking, but you can pick any color you want by using the six-digit hex code for html colors.

Thanks for the response. Still would love to have one in preware that can simply be downloaded that way instead of having to modify and install manually. Also what would be great is an app that could modify the colors within the pre itself.

To have this in PreWare would be difficult as it would get confusing w/ all the diff colors and would make it hard on dbsooner trying to decide what colors to allow and not allow due to clutter and whatnot.

I believe webos-internals is working on a workaround for the issue of patches that in essence create a theme type change, not sure what it is though.

Just wait guys if you think strides in webos have been good then you aint seen nothing yet.

not sure...2sslow and i did not write the patches until after 1.3.1, but there should be no problem since the file that the patches modify did not really change between 1.2.1 and 1.3.1. Some of the lines might be offset from the numbers that the patch specifies, but preware should handle that with no problem. If you try to install it and it is not compatible, preware will simply not install the patch. If you try it and it works, please let us know so we can post that information.

I would be happy with just a patch that said "Color ______ (red, green or whatever), no change in font" or something like that

Don't need hundreds of choices just a few like there are now for the 17 and 18 font patches, that would be great

wow isnt 18 a little big for top bar?? i think i have 17 on mine lol i changed it from 15 but anyways when you open the app catalog it crosses over and covers the little arrow on the top already . and sometimes depending on the name of the app it conflicts with the data and time if you have that date patch.

exactly why 2sslow and I decided to make several sizes to meet the desires of indiv users! not everyone (don't ask me why) uses the date/time patch...

crazy to think that only like 5% of pre owners are part of our little club here
